Answer:

1) Yes

2) No

3) Yes

4) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the rule: the sum of the two shortest sides must be bigger than the longest side. From there, the answers should be obvious. Just add up the smallest sides for each triplet of lengths and see if that is bigger than the largest side.

7 + 14 > 18, therefore this can be a triangle

3 + 8 < 17, therefore this can't be a triangle

3.2 + 9.0 > 11.5, therefore this can be a triangle

6 + 7 > 8, therefore this can be a triangle

The area of a square carpet tile is 900 square centimeters. What is the length of one edge of the tile in centimeters

satela [25.4K]

Let the side of one edge of tile = a cm.

So area of tile = (side)^2 = $a^2$

But area of tiles = 900 square centimeter.

So $a^2 = 900$

$a = \sqrt{900}$
$= 30$

So side of one edge of tile is = 30 cm
